Webinar summary

In healthcare today, clinicians need solutions that are cost effective. With the right skills, you can identify and treat patient-ventilator asynchrony without purchasing additional equipment.

Ten to 25% of patients experience patient-ventilator asynchrony—a mismatch between the patient, inspiratory time, flow and expiratory time.1 Clinicians with the right skills can identify and treat patient-ventilator asynchrony cost effectively using tools you already have.

In this hour-long session, you will learn the importance of ventilator graphics interpretation and how these skills can help reduce patient-ventilator asynchrony.
